The accident happened 10/29/2004 around 7:00 pm. My husband, was traveling on highway 27 North coming home from vicksburg, Ms. The accident report claimed he lost control of the 2002 Chevrolet trail Blazer he was driving and crossed into the other lane. He was hit on the passenger side of the vehicle by the vehicle in the South bound lane. The accident report used the phrase "T boned" in describing the impact of the vehicles. My husband's vehicle caught fire almost immediately on impact and he couldn't be saved according to the witnesses.
